First of all it is not his job to look out for book losses.
The book is part of the package.

Blaming the book is most often a lame excuse.

If you play 5.Bh3 in this position:

[D] r1bqkbnr/1p2pppp/p1np4/2p5/4P3/2NP2P1/PPP2P1P/R1BQKBNR w KQkq - 0 5

you simply deserve the loss.

This was certainly not a book move.
My Tiger 15 also prefers to play this Nonsense.

Above all people should scale down their expectations a bit.
Even a 30 ELO improvement today is hard to achieve >2700 SSDF.
